Windows Wont PXE Boot
-
Ok I tried another solution where by some people have been having issues PXE booting with windows so I made both a Mac and a Linux VM and set them to boot to their network cards.
The linux VM gave me the error FATAL: No Bootable medium found! System Halted
I have remote access enabled to these servers if anyone would be up for remote in and taking a look?

Change your network adapters to E1000
-
These are the only options I get, I have the extension pack installed

E1000 is any of the Intel pro 1000 nics
-
Thought so,
Ive been using those and im still getting the same errors.
-
And have you tried the troubleshooting instructions?
-
Ive followed everything I can find on Virtualbox and fogforums and the user guide
-
So the TFTP files transfer just fine?
-
I had the same problem, some peoples have problems with pxe boot in virtualbox 4.3

Can you install a older version of virtualbox? For example 4.2

Ok, seemed to have got it working…sort of.
Seems there must of been an issue with the network adaptors or the install on the machine I was running Virtualbox on. I tried to uninstall virtual box and do a reinstall but it would hang when removing the network adaptors. Finally managed to get it to uninstall. Tried another re install but again it would hang on installing the network adaptors and kill my network. So now I can’t install virtual box on the server I wanted it on.
I’ve now installed Virtualbox on my laptop and started again from scratch and the windows VM now boots to FOG
whoop!But I’m now getting the following error when I register the Host - see attached file.
The screen then changes and says its attempting to register the host but nothing happens further

personally i prefer vmware player , i think that the networking coding is more solid. but its up to you …
-
Thanks for the Comments Jenesis but im using virtual box as its free. VMware isnt.
Any one got any ideas on my new problem above?

This post is deleted! -
Actually VM player is free unless its changed lately.

Do you get anything after “Starting network…”???
The above ‘IP-Config’ warnings/errors derive from the linux kernel (see here: [url]http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/net/ipv4/ipconfig.c#L1469[/url]). To me that sounds like the kernel has trouble to talk to the network and therefore other things like linux dhclient won’t be able to get an address from the DHCP-server either. This is just guessing as I don’t have an insight into what is really going on in your setup.
Can you capture the traffic on that virtual network interface within your windows host using wireshark??
You can try booting any kind of linux live CD (e.g. ubuntu) in that virtualbox container to see if network is alright with that…

What do I see on that picture?? The client (not a VM or is it fullscreen)?!? Or is the FOG server installed in a VM and this picture just shows one of your clients not being able to boot PXE from this server?Sorry but I don’t understand your description of the issue. Please clarify.Maybe this is of help for you: [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Tftp_timeout[/url]…
-
VM was at full screen Fog server is on its own machine just the client in the VM
-
Ok tested the TFTP get command on fog server works, Computer with VM installed on it works, VM machine fails with firewall turned off on VM machine definitely seems to dislike the NIC in the VM machine for some reason.
-
Also tested Clonezilla live CD and chose iPxe boot and this is the result sure seems like NIC isn’t liked I am gonna try another computer in case it doesn’t like the computer it is on for some reason.
